Hey gang,

As several people have discovered, transferring the mission files from your Test Server folder to your Live Server folder has the inexplicable effect of making your mission "seem" larger when you get to the Live Servers.

As it turns out, you don't actually need to cut out material from your mission if this bumps you just over the 100% file size limit!  Here's the simple work-around:

After you've transferred your files over to the Live folders, log on to the Live Servers.  Bring up your Mission Architect terminal screen, and look at your Local Stories.  At present, it will seem like you cannot publish stories that the game "thinks" have suddenly grown to above the 100% size limit.  Choose to Edit your local story.  Save, and exit.  Voila - the game should now believe that it is okay to publish your mission.  And what's more, you should be able to run it successfully.
